“Half of this Great Yu empire was won by me, Jiang Chan. Why shouldn’t I fight for the throne?”
“Just because I’m a woman, my achievements can’t be rewarded without violating the natural order and proper etiquette?”
The Princess Who Pacified the State wore golden armor for battle and held a spear in her hand as she challenged her father, her words ringing clear and true.
The Emperor of Great Yu looked at the blood, not yet fallen, on the tip of her spear and slumped back into his dragon throne.
But when he saw the person walking slowly into the hall, he sprang to his feet and cursed, “You treacherous favorite who would ruin the country, how dare you come here!”
Jiang Chan did not turn around, but she could feel the presence of the person behind her.
Rumor had it that she had carried this man into the Princess's residence. The truth was that he had walked in of his own accord, not as her lover, but as her minister.
A woman fighting for the throne, with deadly danger at every step. And he was the sharpest blade she had seized for herself.

One day, Jiang Chan pushed a thick stack of documents in front of him. After flipping through a few pages, all the color drained from his face.
Jiang Chan sneered. “Let me sum it up for you. Your name is fake. Your identity is fake. Even the ambitions you spoke of when we discussed the world were fake.”
“The truth is, my father stole the throne from yours, and you want to take it back.”
“Su Shiqilang, no, Xiao Zuan.”
“Crown Prince of the former dynasty, the last bloodline of the Liang imperial house. Do you think you can take it from me?”
Jiang Chan looked down at him, her gaze like a blade, as though she meant to rip open his chest and see what kind of heart lay inside.
Su Shiqilang slowly looked up and met her gaze for the first time.
“Since Your Highness already knows, then I... will stop pretending.”
